English A Shaver Our products are designed to meet the highest standards of quality, functionality and design. We hope you enjoy your new Braun shaver. Your Braun Syncro is supplied with a Braun Clean&Charge (please see section B) SmartLogic Inside The «SmartLogic» electronics inside your shaver analyzes your personal shaving patterns, and then adapts the battery care to ensure optimal performance. Warning Your shaver is provided with a low voltage adaption system. Therefore you must not exchange or manipulate any part of it. Otherwise there is risk of electric shock. Technical specifications: Wattage via low voltage cord: 7 W Power supply via mains adapter, input voltage: 100-240 V ~ / 50 or 60 Hz (automatic adaptation) Shaver input voltage: 12 V Description 1 Foil protection cap 7 Charging lights (green) 2 Shaver foil 8 Low-charge light (red) 3 Cutter block 9 Pilot light 4 Foil release button 10 Shaver socket 5 Long hair trimmer 11 Power supply cord set 6 Switch 2 1 0 Charging the shaver First charging: Using the power supply cord set, connect the shaver to the mains with the switch on position «0» and charge it for at least 4 hours (plug might get warm). The «SmartLogic» inside your shaver automatically monitors the condition of the batteries as well as the charging/discharging processes and adapts them to your personal shaving patterns. From now on, the «SmartLogic» inside your shaver will ensure optimal care of the battery. If, for instance, it is your habit to never let the batteries get low, the «SmartLogic» will recognize this, look for a pause when you are likely to not use the shaver and completely discharge and then recharge your shaver to recondition the batteries (every six months at the most, and only when necessary). 12

However, the maximum battery capacity will only be reached after several charging/discharging cycles. Best environmental temperature range for charging is 15 C to 35 C. Do not expose the shaver to temperatures of more than 50 C for longer periods of time. +35 C +15 C Indicator lights The pilot light shows that the shaver is connected to the mains.

Shaving with the cord If the rechargeable battery is discharged, you may also shave with the shaver connected to the mains via the power supply cord set. (If the shaver does not run immediately, charge it with the switch on position «0» for approx. 1 minute.) Tips for the perfect shave We recommend that you shave before washing, as the skin tends to be slightly swollen after washing. Hold the shaver at right angles (90 ) to the skin. Stretch your skin and shave against the direction of beard growth. Replace the shaver foil and cutter block every 1 1 / 2 years, or when the parts are worn, to ensure optimum shaving performance.

Please refer to section B. 1 0 Manual cleaning For easy cleaning after each shave, switch the shaver off. Press the release buttons to lift the shaver foil (do not remove the foil completely). Switch on the shaver for approx. 5-10 seconds so that the shaved stubbles can fall out. 1 0 For a thorough cleaning (weekly), remove the shaver foil and tap it out on a flat surface. Using the brush, clean the cutter block and the inner area of the pivoting head. About every four weeks, clean the cutter block with Braun cleaning agents. oil If your skin is very dry and you notice a reduced operation time of the shaver, apply a drop of light machine oil onto the shaver foil. 14

B Clean&Charge Braun Clean&Charge has been developed for cleaning, charging and storing your shaver. Clean your shaver daily in the Clean&Charge. During the automated cleaning process, the shaver is switched on and off at intervals to obtain best cleaning results.

Open the contact bow (13) by pressing the release button (14). After shaving, switch the shaver off and place it upside down into the Clean&Charge (without having released the shaver foil). Select the operation mode by toggling with the mode selector (15): «clean» (about 15 min) «clean» + «charge» (about 75 min) «charge» (about 60 min) The corresponding lights will come on. (With cord shavers, only the «clean» function can be selected.) Slide down the contact bow to connect the shaver and to start the selected programme. If no programme is selected, the default function «clean» will be started. Do not interrupt a running programme, as it leaves the shaver wet and not fit for use. If interruption is needed nonetheless, press the release button. After a programme has finished, the corresponding light will go out. Prior to the next shave, press the release button to release the shaver. When the «cartridge» light starts flashing, the remaining fluid in the cartridge is sufficient for about 5 more cleaning cycles. After these 5 cycles, the cleaning performance will be reduced and the cartridge has to be replaced. When the «cartridge» light illuminates constantly, the cleaning function is locked and a new cartridge has to be installed. Only then, the next cleaning cycle can be started. A cleaning cartridge should be sufficient for about 30 cleaning cycles. With daily use, the cleaning cartridge should be replaced approx. every 4 weeks. The hygienic cleaning solution cartridge contains alcohol which, once opened, will naturally evaporate slowly into the surrounding air. Each cartridge, if not used daily, should be replaced after approx. 8 weeks. Clean the housing from time to time with a damp cloth, especially the opening where the shaver rests.
